Sergeant John Vissiliou said it would be alleged two bikes from the carpark were among six seized by his officers in a raid at a Bunker Crescent house in the far-north suburb on February 19.

About noon on February 2, five bicycles worth about $20,000 in total were taken from the David Malcolm Justice Centre on Barrack Street in Perth.

The centre houses WA Supreme Court chambers, offices for the State Government attorney-general and treasurer, and a civil court, but police did not know if any of the bikes were those of the lawyers, judges or the politicians’ staff.

A Yanchep man (19) was charged with two counts of stealing and possessing unlawfully obtained property, and a Yanchep man (20) was charged with three counts of stealing.
